WI OWE IT TO COt. JOE MEEK
The Lewis fc CUrk management
hare given the Northwest a Joe
Meek Day, and Washing-ton Coun
ty, Meek'a adopted home, ihould
celebrate the day in nombera ex
ceeding any support yet given the
Fair. Joe Meek, with all his faults.
was a pathfinder of no mean abili
ties. He waa all man; a natural
leader; generom to a fault; blufl
and hearty, and a man of action.
His service to the Northwest was no
mean one. His action at Cham
poeg, coupled with that of his fel
lows, gave to Uncle Sam a vast do
main and there are many who
readily believe that had not Joe I.,
Meek taken the interest he did in
getting his Washington County
friends and neighbors to go to
Cham poeg that Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho would now be under
the. English flag. Joe Meek was
one of us. Let us do his memory
honor. This will be the last time
that we may ever have to pay a
tribute to the man that went before
them all 1828 he started for the
boundless West Has he not earn
ed at leaBt a passing notice? Is he
not entitled to one day from a citi
xeoehip that boasts of admiring
deeds of worth? Let Washington
County swell ths Northwest at
tendance at the Fair on Joe Meek
Day September 29!

massive granite building ami sprang to
the sidewalk. Miss Martbaui watched
Mm nbacntly. He had aakl that he
must stop at his office but the waiting
waa not uuwelcoiue to her. She liked
to watch the great tlrays aud henry
wagons and to observe th sights aud
sound of this unfamiliar part of tuo
vlt.r.
Presently atie uotleed that Hammond
had not entered the buiUllug, but was
standing In the doorway, looking up

some one. lie caught her wandering
glance aud waved bis hand, smiling
brightly. Then he put both baud to
hi mouth, making a horn, aud called
something to bar, which she could not
hear stove the roar of the street.
"He la (Ike s boy," she thought and
laughed in sympathy with Ula evjdent
Joyousoess. "There Is never any gloom
or any uncertainty about him." adding
sadly: "Men are so sure of themselves
-and of oue another. I wish I wish I
knew If he thinks only of my money,
aa all the others seem to da"
Still watching bis eager face, she
knew that whatever be had been wait
ing for was coming, and he pointed up
the street and laughed again aa be ran
lightly down the stepa.
Two young Italiana, s man and s
woman, were making ready to play.
The girl wore s rose wreath on ber
dark hair, and her eyes were filled with
the light of love ss she looked fondly
iu the face of her companion.
The strains of the music came to Miss
Markham lu fitful snatches, mingled
with the noises of the street She saw
that Hammond was listening ss if to s
symphony, and she wondered a little
as to the meaning of the scene. She
saw him place something In the girl's
small brown hand, aud then the man
took off his cap with low obeisance,
and the girl court eaied prettily aa Ham
mond raised bis bat politely and made
his way to the automobile.
"What Is ltr she questioned briefly
as he took his seat.
"Only the beautiful outcome of a lit
tle romance that I have watched as It
blossomed here amid the sordid rush
of business."
"They are lovers, these two?' fall
ing In with his mood.
"Tea. Wedded last night. Two mag
nificent types of primitive bunisolty!"
with the enthusiasm of artistic percep
tion. .
They watcbed the two ss they went
down the street, each pushing the pi
ano with one hand, while the other
hands were clasped.
"Will you tell me about thetui" she
asked as they reached s broad, quiet
avenue away from the din snd confu
sion of the city.
"Are you really interested?" turning
to look st ber curiously.
"Very much so. Please tell me."
"They are Antoine snd Carlta. They
may have other names. These are all
I know. I have watcbed them from
my window all winter. He had s tluy
fruit stand on the comer, aud she was
errand girl iu a big millinery establish
ment on the next street. I saw the
first love glances, snd I swear by Bun
ker Hill they did not come from Ao
tolne." Miss Markham laughed softly.
"I watched Carlta passing and re
passing, making several trip by the
little stand for each errand. Then
there would be days when she did not
come st all, and Antoine's neck would
have been safer In those days if it bad
really been made of rubber instead of
the material provided by the Creator."
Miss Msrknsm smiled appreciatively.
She could fancy the ardent Italian gaz
ing up and down the street watching
for bis sweetheart.
"Well, occasionally making pretense
of an abnormal desire for bananas, I
rushed out to the stand while she was
still lingering there, and so I some
times overheard a few sentences their
oft Italia leve words sounding like
bird notes In spring. Can't you fancy
them building a nest somewhere of
boughs and moss they wouldn't re
quire much more than the birds, you
know and settling down like the birds
to sing their love songs aud rear their
young?"
. A new light shone in Miss Mark
barn's clear eyes.
"And this is the man whom the girls
describe ss a mere business automa
ton," sbe thought,! but she only said

'The day ot the toruudo yon remm

uetbMsl the downfall ot the bouse of

destruction of Autolue'a fruit suud

Miss Markham sighed with quick
symimtby. Hammond was uncoil
actously gtvlhg the little story s dra
matic turn.
"Poor Autolne! He made one or twe
frautlc endeavor to prevent the disas
ter, and tbeu, crushed by the misfor
tune, be clung to the ditorway of the
utllce building aud watched the gamins
as they wildly acrauihled for the scat
tered fruit"
"Aud was everything entirely ru
ined?" Miss Markhatn's baud Instinc
tively sought ber purse.
"The peanut cooker lay lu the mud,
bent snd twisted out of all sehiblauce
to Its kind. Autolue picked It up with
trembllug bauds sud tbeu, reallalug Its
luielessuem, replaced It In the gutter,
while the tears streamed down bis
cheek."
"That Isn't alir expectantly.
Hammond continued Itbetlleutly;
" 'Never uilnd, Autolue, I said cheer-fully-lt's

they would have been so happy I And

nothingness of his condition, sud th

big with the magnitude of ths tor
tune. 'An' his business,' Antoine add
ed pompously. 'Did he have a stand r
I asked him. 'No, a plauo. We mar

Hammond paused abruptly. The ex
pression on Miss Markham'a patrician
face was so unlike the usual air of po
lite ludlffereuce that he was almost
startled Into the telling of his own
story, forgetful of the Italian lovers.
'That is all," be added awkwardly.
